Ah yes. And possibly Florida?
But I don't know for how long, since the Dems seem to be seeking more power over the individual states, although right now, many are ignoring or refusing Dem attempts to impose upon them. Nice to see Biden uniting the country so well!
I'd wait and see how things go for a couple of years before I moved anywhere in the US. Another thing is a lot of people are moving from the woke states like California due to soaring taxes and other crazy policies of the Dems, so it may be that even the remaining good states become infected. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

The infection is definitely there, but I don't know how far it has crept into their institutions. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I thought the Aussie government was paying the captains of shiploads of assylum seekers cash money to turn round and go back. And if they don't, marooning them on an island ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

And the best of it is, when I was in Myanmar - our guide wanted nothing more than to show us their colonial buildings; literally called them that, literally proud of the fact. |

The woke certainly make for an excellent instructional guide. Anything they say, you can be sure you're safe doing the opposite.

Quote: | “The assembly included the screening of a video message by Brisbane Boys' College Captain Mason Black about being proactive in stopping incidents of sexual assault and harassment.
“As part of this discussion boys were asked to stand as a symbolic gesture of apology for the behaviours of their gender that have hurt or offended girls and women.
“In retrospect, while well-intended, we recognise that this part of the assembly was inappropriate.” |
Apologise for being white; apologise for being male; apologise for being able bodied; apologise for breathing. |
It's reminiscent of the whole "apologise for the slave trade" bollox a few years ago. I have no problem with that if a thankyou for also ending the transatlantic slave trade was offered in exchange but anyhoo...
Sins of the Father and all that. Also seen with Extinction Rebellion: "oh well, the carbon footprint of the UK might be pretty good now but during the Industrial Revolution it was much worse!" Reparations in other words, "hair shirts for all" ffs.
IIRC there's a chemical you can add (Acetylcysteine?) to Paracetamol that reduces the chance of liver damage in the event of an overdose. It seemed to be quite a thing years ago. OD on pills, saved by paramedics but now your liver's fucked. The argument from Big Pharma was they couldn't add this chemical as it would admit historical liability for Paracetamol being dangerous all along.
I don't know where I'm going with this but it all seems to revolve around impeding progress for the sake of historical context or maintaining the status quo regardless of any new solutions available. IMHO this is where governments should step in, draw a line and say "from this point forward we'll do things right, previous liabilities will not be entertained" some hope though ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Quote: | Actress Thandie Newton has said she is reverting to the original Zimbabwean spelling of her first name, Thandiwe.
The actress has hitherto been known as Thandie, an anglicised version of her name with the "w" absent.
All of Newton's films will be credited with the name Thandiwe (pronounced "tan-DEE-way") Newton in future.
"That's my name. It's always been my name. I'm taking back what's mine," |
How is this even news
Who, honestly. has stopped her having her name spelt however the hell she liked for the last few decades?!
Quote: | The actress, whose full name is Melanie Thandiwe Newton, said her name was misspelled in the credits to her first film in 1991, Flirting, which co-starred Nicole Kidman and Noah Taylor.
As a result, Thandie Newton became the widely-used spelling of her name and has stuck with the actress for three decades. |
So, a typo - a bloody typo - has been oppressing her for decades?!
Wait hang on a second, her name is Melanie?! Surely if Hollywood had wanted to Anglicise her they'd have just called her Mel?! What absolute horseshit!
Quote: | Newton also told Vogue she welcomed how much representation of ethnic minority groups has improved in the entertainment landscape.
"The thing I'm most grateful for in our business right now is being in the company of others who truly see me. And to not be complicit in the objectification of black people as 'others', which is what happens when you're the only one," she said. |
The thing she's most grateful for, in the whole of the entertainment industry, you know with the money flowing from the heavens and the galas and the free designer clothes, free makeup artistry, free cosmetic surgery, free personal trainers and having time to keep yourself in bloody good shape with all your PA's running around taking care of your administrative life, is:
Some bullshit made up statement that makes absolutely no bloody sense whatsoever
